1t was nearly = o'clock when the preSi-
dental party entered carriages and started
from the Coates house for the public build
Ing. The entire rout- traversed by the guests
of the city was literally packed with human
beings and much enthusiasm was manifested.
There was, however, none of the usual crowd
ing and crushing which has been experienced
so often by members Of the party. The pO-
lice regulations were as complete as possible
to make them in the circumstances, and the
vast throngs OF people appeared TO appreciate
keenly that they were doing honor to their
president and the first lady of the land.
When the president, Mrs. Cleveland and their
companions and large committee composed
of prominent citizens and their wives reached
the stand erected at the custom house proba-
bly, upwards of $1,000 persons stood within
seeing distance OF them President Cleveland
was roundly applauded as soon as he made
his appearance on the platform No time
was lost in beginning the ceremony at this
point President f. NJ Allen, of the Kansas

When the presidents speech had been con-
cluded and round after round of applause
had subsidized arrangements for the public re-
ception TO be given at the public building
were quickly perfected President and Mrs.
Cleveland took their places to receive the
multitude The people passed by them as
rapidly as possible Mrs Cleveland looked
very handsome, In an deliberately trimmed
brown satin dress. Many of the remarks
made by the people as they passed by the re-
ceiVlng couple were OF the usual amusing
character. A number OF them were apollo
gies for the bad thoroughfares. As one lady
passed by them she summed up the situation
very adroitly, saying to Mrs. Cleveland: a
am very glad indeed to see you. Take us as
you find us. We have just moved in, and
are not yet set to rights" The mistress of
the "mte House smiled gracefully as her
Kansas City friend moved on, apparently
perfectly satisfied with the effect OF her re-
mark
The reception lasted until nearly o'clock,
and then the president and Mrs. Cleveland
were driven to the Coates house by circuit
Gus route and remained quietly in their apart
ments until p m, when they attended a
banquet given in their honor by the recep-
ton committee, which was represented by
Coi Z. ii Allen, chairman OF the commit

The menu was very elaborate one.
1t was nearly so'elock when the party
reached coffee, and shortly atterward the
president and Mrs. Cleveland repaired to
their private quarters where they rested I'M
